Money Saving Tips (Some more light reading!)
Before attempting to remove stubborn stains from a garment, always circle
the stain in permanent pen, so that when you remove the garment from the
washing machine you can easily locate the area of the stain and check that
it has gone.
Don't waste money buying expensive binoculars. Simply stand next to the
object you wish to view.
Always poo at work. Not only will you save money on toilet paper, but you'll
also be getting paid for it.
Weight watchers. Avoid that devilish temptation to nibble at a chocolate bar
in the cupboard or fridge by not buying it in the first place.
Recreate the fun of a visit to a public swimming pool in your home by
filling the bath with cold water, adding two bottles of bleach, then
urinating into it, before jumping in.
An empty aluminum cigar tube filled with angry wasps makes an inexpensive
vibrator.
Olympic athletes. Disguise the fact that you've taken steroids by running a
bit slower.
Smokers. Save on matches and lighters by simply lighting your next ciggie from
the butt of your last one.
Vegetarians coming to dinner? Simply serve them a nice bit of steak or veal.
Since they're always going on about how tofu, Quorn, meat substitutes etc
"tastes exactly like the real thing", they won't know the difference.
Invited by vegetarians for dinner? Point out that since you would no doubt
be made aware of their special dietary requirements, tell them about yours,
and ask for a nice steak.
High blood pressure sufferers. Simply cut yourself and bleed for a while,
thus reducing the pressure in your veins.
Heavy smokers. Don't throw away those filters from the end of your
cigarettes. Save them up and within a few years you'll have enough to
insulate your roof.
Corsa drivers. Attach a lighted sparkler to the roof of your car before
starting a long journey. You drive the things like dodgems anyway, so it may
as well look like one.
A mouse trap placed on top on of your alarm clock will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep.
Fool next door into thinking you have more stairs than them by banging your
feet twice on each stair.
At supermarket checkouts, a Toblerone box makes a handy "Next customer
Please" sign for dyslexic shoppers.
Girls. Don't worry about a nice dress for that important first date. All
he's interested in is seeing you naked.
Putting just the right amount of gin in your goldfish bowl makes the fishes'
eyes bulge and cause them to swim in an amusing manner.
Avoid parking tickets by leaving your windscreen wipers turned to "fast
wipe" whenever you leave your car parked illegally.
Housewives. I find the best way to get two bottles of washing-up liquid for
the price of one is by putting one in your shopping trolley and the other in
your coat pocket.
The End
